Part I: The Split of “Marcomm”

In the age of digital, people’s buying patterns are changing, causing a split in marketing and communications teams in the association industry. As two distinct fields, communications and marketing can be broken down as follows:

Communications: convey the right message to the right person at the right time

  • Risk averse
  • Newsletters, press releases, advocacy efforts, legislative communications

Marketing: strategically place the product at the right price with the right incentive in front of the right person

  • Risk taker
  • Events, membership, professional development programs, publications

Part II: Why Force Growth? Gain Insight – Grow Revenue

As I mentioned above, people’s buying patterns have changed, thus forcing a shift in the association market to re-evolve, rethink, and relearn their strategies. The focus now puts money into growth strategy to get in front of people who do not know your organization.

You may be asking yourself a few questions. How can I get in front of people I don’t know? How does that work? The answer is simple - gain insight! Leverage digital tools and marketing automation to capture and analyze the digital footprint of prospects and members. By utilizing marketing automation platforms to help digitally transform your organization, you will gain insight you grow revenue!
